The premise of this story (an illustrated book like Dinotopia, actually) is that an alien spacecraft is discovered orbiting Saturn, and the subsequent translation of the documents it contains transforms the people of Earth's ideas about themselves. Just as with Dinotopia, it's presented as fact, too.catnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-78564216980768810832008-01-01T09:16:00.000-05:002008-01-01T09:16:00.000-05:00I'm glad you asked, Meredith.

People have my permission to quote text or use images from Gurney Journey or Dinotopia.com on their blogs, websites, or MySpace pages as long as they give some kind of credit or link back. In fact I welcome it and thank you for it. <BR/><BR/>Students talking about Dinotopia in their school reports also have my OK. <BR/><BR/>I can't speak for other artists, but the thing I don't want to see is an image in print in a book or magazine or used on something for sale, because that's how I make my living.James Gurneywww.dinotopia.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-29031423471317453542008-01-01T08:26:00.000-05:002008-01-01T08:26:00.000-05:00Just curious...since you mentioned the post by Dr....Just curious...since you mentioned the post by Dr. Fabre, do the images posted in blogs count as "fair use" or do they require approval of the creator?
